Reuters witnesses heard more than 20 separate airstrikes before dawn on Sept 28.
BEIRUT/JERUSALEM - A fresh wave of air raids hit Beirut's southern suburbs in the early hours of Sept 28 as Israel stepped up attacks on Hezbollah, after a massive strike on the Iran-backed movement's command centre that apparently targeted leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Earlier, a source close to Hezbollah told Reuters that Mr Nasrallah was alive, and Iran's Tasnim news agency also reported he was safe. A senior Iranian security official told Reuters Tehran was checking his status. Lebanese health authorities confirmed six dead and 91 wounded in the initial attack on Sept 27 - the fourth on Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs in a week and the heaviest since a 2006 war.But the final toll appeared likely to be much higher. There was no word on casualties from the later strikes. More than 700 people had been killed in strikes over the past week, authorities said.
Hours later, the Israeli military told residents in parts of Beirut's southern suburbs to evacuate as it targeted missile launchers and weapons storage sites it said were under civilian housing.Mr Alaa al-Din Saeed, a resident of the Laylaki neighbourhood which was identified by the IDF as one of those that would be struck, told Reuters that he was fleeing with his wife and three children.
This week's escalation has displaced around 100,000 people in Lebanon, increasing the total number of people uprooted in the country by the conflict to well over 200,000.People inspect damage at the site of an Israeli strike, amid ongoing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, in Beirut's southern suburbs, Lebanon on Sept 27.

At the United Nations, where the annual General Assembly met this week, the intensification prompted expressions of concern including by France, which with the US has proposed a 21-day ceasefire.
